Shanghai is served mainly by two international airports with distinct roles. Shanghai Pudong (PVG) is the city’s primary international gateway and a major long-haul hub, typically handling most intercontinental flights and full-service carriers; it sits about 30–40 km east of the urban core. Ground links include an express maglev plus metro Line 2 (35–55 minutes to central Pudong/People’s Square), airport buses and taxis — fares can range from modest public transit fares to higher taxi/ride-share costs. Pros: modern facilities and extensive long-haul connectivity; cons: longer transfer times to downtown and occasional congestion at peak hours. Shanghai Hongqiao (SHA) functions as a domestic and regional hub, commonly used by low-cost and domestic full-service carriers and located much closer to the city center (roughly 12–15 km west of central Shanghai). It is directly connected to the metro network (Lines 2 and 10) and the city’s high-speed rail station, typically 20–30 minutes to downtown by metro or 30–45 minutes by taxi depending on traffic; fares are generally lower for metro and higher for taxis. Pros: convenience for domestic connections and shorter city transfers; cons: fewer long-haul options and can be crowded during peak domestic travel periods.
Saratov is served mainly by Saratov Gagarin Airport (Saratov Gagarin) and sometimes by the older Domodedovo-class Saratov Central for domestic links; Gagarin functions as the primary regional hub for Saratov Oblast, handling most scheduled flights and a mix of Russian carriers and a few low-cost operators. Fares can be competitive on domestic sectors but may rise for limited international options. The airport lies roughly 20–25 km from Saratov city center; taxis and ride-hailing typically take 25–40 minutes depending on traffic, with fares usually in a modest range, while public buses and shuttle services are slower (up to an hour) but cheaper. Pros: straightforward layout and convenient for regional connections; cons: fewer direct international routes and sometimes limited off-peak services.
